Nail art assessment

So today before the acrylic exam, I was told that if I handed my nail art assessment (ie, my nail art) in a plastic bag, she would give it back, and that she expected it presented properly.  So, I'm like oh shit WTF, so ran off to red dot and just started grabbing random crafty stuff.
This is the result...

Pirates of the Caribbean by OPI

Yay, they are finally here, let me know what you think of the colours.
I also included a black to really highlight the SILVER SHATTER, oh yes, it is that awesome...

Tonights designs

Post your comments about these latest designs for my assessment.

Playing around

Salon day, one client for a manicure.
I played with my Konad stamper today, Casey loved it.
After that did some marbling on a nail to show the girls how easy it is, forgot to take a piccy though.

Nails For Liz

2 1/2 hours, with 2 issues with tips and bloody Jehovah's witnesses knocking at the door.
Not to mention that this set was somewhat of a challenge as Liz told me that acrylics or gel nails never stay on her nails, so I spent a little longer making sure the prep was perfect, hence the tip issues.  They turned out pretty good.
Now the waiting has started, fingers crossed.

Nail art creations

Have to do some nail art for an assignment and came up with these 2 new ideas.
I hope you all enjoy, and please let me know what you think.

Nail drama ohnoes

First off, thank you Nadine for your patience and understanding today, I would never ever have thought that could go wrong.
So after taking just over an hour Tish remove her nails, we were both astounded by what was underneath.  Expecting to find a semi decent nail plate to work with, the grooves, ridges and cliffs were a bonus (see attached pics).
It was whilst trying to level off some of this keratin karnage that on one finger, I went through the nail, which really made me mad, as I was being very gentle to begin with. (Photo attached, sadly)
So after a quick emergency chat with my Tafe tutor (Peta, you rock) Nadine was advised to let that damage grow out.
We then did her other nails, which turned out fantastically.
So that was my afternoon..  enjoy

Celebrations

Yay, finally cracked the elusive 2 1/2 hour barrier.
Full set DONE in 2:24, hellz yeah, so happy.
My next goal is to do them in under 2 hours.  That will only come with experience, as I do NOT want to sacrifice my need for a perfect job, just to speed up.
Thanks Jacinta for being so awesome a model,  and here are her hands to prove it.
I've had to go back to blogger ad haven't yet found a Facebook appreciate that lets me post to my business page, sigh.

Nails in the salon

No customers today, so I transformed some already gorgeous nails (yes, I did ask to make sure she wanted acrylics) into, quite frankly, spectacular nails, I put my shoulder out patting myself on the back.
The only downside was timing, still taking too long to do them, gotta shave another 30 mins somewhere, and I don't know where.
Have a great weekend peepz.

New nailart

This is a pic of nailart I have been working on today.
Feedback and/or more ideas are appreciated....
I added some more, just for fun :-)
